How to reload "from mymodule import *" wildcard imports in Jupyter
In our previous post How to reload import in Jupyter we showed how to use reload()
from importlib
in order to reload a module without restarting the kernel.
import mymodule
# Reload .py file every time we run the cell
from importlib import reload
reload(mymodule)
However, often we are using syntax like
from mymodule import *
to wildcard-load everything imported from mymodule
.
We can reload those wildcard imports using the same strategy by additionalling importing mymodule
and then reloading using reload(mymodule)
- this will also reload the wildcard import from mymodule import *
!
from mymodule import *
# This line is just to facilitate reloading
import mymodule
from importlib import reload
reload(mymodule)
# Reload .py file every time we run the cell from importlib import reload reload(mymodule)
